Abstract This month Retrovirology publishes the meeting abstracts from the 10th annual Institute of Human Virology conference held August 29th to September 2nd, 2005 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. In this editorial, the rationale for publishing meeting abstracts is discussed. To celebrate the 10th annual meeting of the Institute of Retrovirus meeting [5], attended by ~125 scientists, was Human Virology (IHV), Retrovirology publishes this accessed 610 times in the first ten days after its publica- month a supplement [1] which includes 315 abstracts of tion.

My memory tells me (although my memory has faded with age) that between 1981 to 1984, I made several presentations on CMV pro- moter research at the then annual Herpesvirus meeting held at Cold Spring Harbor. Later, in 1990, a patent for the use of the CMV IE promoter was filed by a competi- tor's group. Many years passed, until approximately five years ago when I unexpectedly received a telephone call from a patent attorney at a high-priced law firm in New York City. The attorney represented a biotech firm which was keen on contesting the issued CMV IE patent. The attorney wanted to know "What did I say publicly about my CMV IE promoter research at meetings?" "And when did I say them?". I recall at that moment when confronted to recall accurately minute historical details critical to a legal contest, I wished fervently for the existence of an open access, easily searchable, repository of meeting abstracts. Retrovirology is committed to the goal of free public access to permanently archived digitally formatted scientific information. Meeting abstracts published in Retrovirology are initially viewable online in our journal, and are then permanently deposited into the PubMed Central archive. Retrovirology is currently accessed ~1,000 times daily. If you are a meeting organizer interested in the rapid and broad dissemination (with permanent archiving) of the presentations from your conference, it may be worth your while to consider publishing your meeting in Retrovirol- ogy.
